Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use Miro to create interactive workshop canvases, mainly focused on Design Thinking exercises and gamified solutions. Not only is it easy for users to log in without being hassled into creating accounts and such, but it also is easy to use and Miro offers great tutorials online. This means I can spend my energy on actually hosting the workshop and only having to help out with minor questions.
  • Zoom in and out of content quickly and easily.
  • Simple interface which is easy to learn.
  • No hassle of functionality that basic users don't need, while still available one level deeper.
  • The way it works together with Zoom is unclear to me. They support each other back and forth apparently which sounds great but I get really confused with all the extensive login procedures back and forth and am not sure how to explain this to my clients, so I don't use it, which I suppose is a shame. I just use them separately (Share Miro screen in Zoom) now.
  • It is confusing to understand the whole idea of memberships that cost money and sharing a board with anyone for free. It took me two hours of research and asking Miro Q&A to figure it out and I still don't fully understand why it is made to be so complicated.
  • It's a shame that users with an Edu account (some of my clients) cannot export high res PDFs (or so they tell me), meaning they cannot print their own boards.
  • Easier to offer online courses ad workshops.
The typography tools could be better so that one can use free online fonts like Google Fonts, for instance.
I managed to link it to Zoom, but I have no clue how I made that work after two hours of messing around with it. So, I think it has potential but it's complicated.
Great for online workshops, so really helpful.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

It's great for brainstorms and game storms and also icebreakers are fun (Miro offers some good ones). It's also supposed to be great to export as presentation files yet I find it easier to use Keynote to make my presentations, as Miro lacks good typography tools. So maybe more control over typography would greatly improve its use.
